You're right that the term "backgamee" is not mandatory in this particular instance (although I do have some backgamer decisions in my files that could be considered bearin decisions—but I dub them "containment" decisions). But for example, I have separate folders for backgamer cube actions and backgamee cube actions. Similarly, there are checker play decisions that can arise for both players; e.g., "hit or not?" or "forced to crunch; how do I do it?"

I understand your objection to colorful terminology which has no utilitarian function, but I came up with holder/holdee and backgamer/backgamee out of a utilitarian need to organize my files for study.

I'm afraid I don't understand this reference.
